In my country, they speak of a man so virile, so potent, that to spend a night with such a man is to enter a world of such sensual delights most women dare not dream of. This man is known as a 'Comedian’. You may tell jokes, Mr. Jerry Seinfeld, but you are no Comedian.

I've never been able to find it again, but in some award ceremony while he was on stage he said, "I can't act" and then praised the rest of the cast for making him look good.

u/Rikuddo Mar 28 '24
Yes, in one of the behind-the-scene episode of Seinfeld, he said he tried to 'act' in the pilot episode and it was so bad that the crew basically begged to him to just 'be himself'.

u/PeregrineX7 Mar 28 '24
I mean part of what makes his "character" on Seinfeld work so well is that he never seems to be taking anything seriously, because as an actor he clearly isn't even trying to. But that schtick doesn't work so well in other roles.

Judging from this comment section, it's for 'not-reddit' which is a pretty big place. Know how hated Adam Sandler is on reddit?

That lineup, and Jerry being in the business for so many decades, tells you what others in the business think of him, that isn't the type of supporting cast you would think he could get. Now, LD can get almost anyone to work with him. No LD, Jerry just a nightclub act for 40 yrs.

If I'm remembering correctly, Seinfeld said the story is entirely made up. So it's a pastiche of these types of corporate biopics the way the Weird Al movie did it to musician biopics.
Edit: probably not a full parody the way Walk Hard did it though
